Attention Trumpanistas: that expression---"Shit happens"? It is more than an expression.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 165 MILLION people, spread across 50 states, just voted. These votes were cast with the help of many diverse poll workers from both major parties, many of whom were "temps". These votes were then counted as carefully and accurately and promptly as possible. And, all of this was done during a deadly pandemic that had been ignored by YOUR "president"!

Is it really "shocking" or "outrageous" that, here and there, good people occasionally made mistakes? Just as one example, that there were 357 "discepancies" in the Milwaukee votes is a pretty damn good number when you consider that over a quarter million votes were cast there. That is not called "fraud" or "rigging"; it's called "the law of averages", or, if you will, "Shit happens!"

Stop embarrassing yourselves and your nation with your willful ignorance before we change that expression: TRUMP happens!

Just changed the channel when CNN began a discussion of "What Trump's post-presidential

life might be like".

WHO---with an IQ above room temperature---GIVES A BIG BROWN RAT'S ASS?

Please, avoid the rush: start ignoring it now.

Serious question for practicing DU attorneys: in the current pandemic when the health experts are

advising us to ASSUME that every person we meet is positive for covid, can deliberate repeated coughing in another's face be charged as an assault or even battery?

If so, can one take action to defend one's self?

Thanks for any serious responses.

Trump's "strategery" in a nutshell: "We're gonna recount and recount and recount until one count

shows that I won. We don't need no stinkin' democracy!"

---sigh----Talking Heads, why do you continue to bend over backwards to give Trump the

benefit of the doubt?

I have just listened to one of you say that Trump's attempts to cling to power despite losing the election by over 6 million votes "indicates that he does not respect the norms" in American politics.

Do ya THINK?

I know you can't call him a sonofabitch on TV, but could you say out loud that his actions are transparent traitorous crimes?

Write in "Donald Trump"!

Hey, out there all you True Patriots in the great state of Georgia! We all know Donald Trump wants two Republican senators to be elected in the Peach State on January 5th, so you don't have worry about remembering their names---Perdiddle and Laffler or something, like that.

Just write in "Donald J. Trump" for both Senate seats and our "friends" in each precinct will know who you meant to vote for!

Easy-peasy.

You are welcome!

These Michigan Republicans who have heeded Trump's call to the White House---do they truly have no

idea that simply attending this pre-certification meeting will forever brand them as ass-kissing whores?

"No, Mr. Trump, I will not meet with you. To do so, at this time especially, would be inappropriate." THAT should have been there response to Trump's imperious "come hither".

The mere fact that these legislators are in DC as I type this is all any thoughtful de ent Michigander should need to know about their "representatives".

I have just written another one of those posts that I decided not to hit the "Post My Thread!"

button for.

For now, I decided it was too "radical" and "inflammatory".

I'll just stop at saying I will be VERY VERY "upset" if Michigan or any other state run by a legislative nest of Trump-bots attempts to essentially scrap democracy and "declare. Trump POTUS.

VERY VERY upset.
